Comment:

DO NOT take this class. Not only is this professor a TERRIBLE communicator her grading criteria is unreasonable and her provided course content is laughable. Her lectures break every basic education and powerpoint presentation rule you have ever been taught. Rude and condescending on the rare occasion she communicates. Takes too much time

Comment:

I wouldn't recommend taking professor bellows history class online. You have to go to the testing center to take tests on MC even though it's an online class. The class in itself was quite difficult. If you have to take a history class, take a history class in person! She isn't a mean professor just a tough one. Wouldn't recommend the online class.

Comment:

There is not enough room to write about how terrible this teacher is. I would suggest taking this class only if you have a photographic memory. The only grades you get are for tests and for those you have to memorize 40 terms and 6 five-paragraph essays. The class is online but you have to go to a campus for tests which is very inconvenient.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Unless you can memorize 40-50 terms and 6 essays for each exam you will not pass. This professor is completely out of her mind. You will spend hours trying to memorize terms and essays and won't have time to learn anything. I love history but this IS NOT a reasonable class for anyone to take. IMPOSSIBLE!

You will need to read and study. Study dates, read and pay attention. Dr. Bellows is fair, but there is no skating in this class. She makes history come alive.

Comment:

Mrs. Bellows online class is extremely tough. Be prepared to study hard. The test is not M/C, its ALL memory at given at the testing center. There's about 40 terms and you only write on 12-14 and You will write on 2 of the possible 6 essays but if you do it you will pass also did the extra paper worth 20 points.

The tests are impossible to pass. Its an online class but you have to go downtown to test. There is a reason people take online classes, because they cant get to the campus for some reason. This class completely screwed up my perfect GPA. STAY AWAY you will NOT pass. And she is not helpful at all.

Comment:

This online history class was definitely not the easiest. The tests require memorization of terms, which I felt was the most difficult part of the course. The class was basically just reading the text and taking tests. No critical thinking. This class was do-able, but I would not retake this course with this professor.

Comment:

Teacher kept communication high and was very flexible. The tests aren't easy, but if you put in the work, you learn and make good grades. I would say on this 3 hour course, I put in about 6 hours/week and passed with an A. Just read the glossaries, run through the practice questions and write and study your essay ahead of time and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Definitely a tough class, but not impossible. About half of your grade depends on memorizing terms and definitions, which she is VERY picky about. Nevertheless, it's not as bad as I was led to believe.

Very informative, thought I earned a D wound up with an A, If you read the Lecture notes and study the terms you will get an A! Grammar and spelling was not as important as she writes in Sylabis. If you love incredible true stories take this class

Easy class. She gives the opportunity to do 65 points worth of extra credit which can make up 20% of your final grade. Easy "A".

Comment:

I love history and I have always made good grades in ALL of my classes, but this course I made a low D. Unless you can memorize 6 essays and forty terms for each of the three exams you take then don't take this class. You will have to work on memorizing every day and probably still wont make a high grade. I don't think I learned anything.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! I didn't even bother to finish this class because after the first test there is no way to come back. The class is only 360 points total. 3 exams all memorization. If you can memorize 40 terms and two FULL papers then you'll do ok. There is also three mandatory papers. Take a different class, you'll regret taking this one.

Comment:

This was a very hard course online. The exams are always over the material shes gives you on the Online Study Guide. It is alot to learn. I dont recommend this as an online course especially if you have kids. Lots of memorization.
